<p>I have a solution in VS2008 containing C# and C++/CLI projects. There are 3 "solution platforms" in my solution:</p>

<ul>
<li>Any CPU</li>
<li>Win32</li>
<li>Mixed Platforms</li>
</ul>

<p>I never want to "just build the C# ones" or "just build the C++ ones", I always want to build all projects. So the <em>solution platforms</em> metaphor is meaningless to me, I'll leave it on Mixed Platforms or whatever as long as they all build.</p>

<p>Now VS sometimes automatically switches the current solution platform
 to Any CPU (I'm not sure when or why). This means that pressing F7 will
 only try to build the C# projects, which is obviously no good. So I 
have to switch back to Mixed Platforms and try again.</p>

<p>So how to workaround this irritating problem? I have tried 2 ways:</p>

<ol>
<li>In Configuration Manager, remove the Any CPU and Win32 solution 
platforms. This worked until I added a new project and Visual Studio 
very kindly added them back in... :/</li>
<li>In Configuration Manager, check all checkboxes for all projects in 
all configurations in all solution platforms. This becomes a nightmare 
to manage with many projects in the solution.</li>
</ol>

<p>Any other ideas?</p>
